Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

Year 1 water change:  \displaystyle -2 \frac{1}{3}

Year 2 water change:  \displaystyle -1 \frac{5}{6}

<u>Step 2: Find Total Water Change</u>

  1. [Set up] Add yearly water changes:                                                                \displaystyle -2 \frac{1}{3} + -1 \frac{5}{6}
  2. [Fractions] Convert to improper:                                                                     \displaystyle \frac{-7}{3} - \frac{11}{6}
  3. [Fraction] Rewrite [LCM]:                                                                                  \displaystyle \frac{-14}{6} - \frac{11}{6}
  4. [Order of Operations] Subtract:                                                                       \displaystyle \frac{-25}{6}

Let f be a continuous function defined on the interval [0,1] such that f(0) = f(1). Show that there exists a number 0 &lt;= a &l
Leni [432]

Explanation:

In order to prove that affirmation, we define the function g over the interval [0, 1/2] with the formula g(x) = f(x+1/2)-f(x) .

If we evaluate g at the  endpoints we have

g(0) = f(1/2)-f(0) = f(1/2) - f(1) (because f(0) = f(1))  

g(1/2) = f(1) - f(1/2) = -g(0)

Since g(1/2) = -g(0), we have one chance out of three

  • g(0) > 0 and g(1/2) < 0
  • g(0) < 0 and g(1/2) > 0
  • g(0) = g(1/2) = 0

We will prove that g has a zero on [0,1/2]. If g(0) = 0, then it is trivial. If g(0) ≠ 0, then we are in one of the first two cases, and therefore g(0) * g(1/2) < 0. Since f is continuous, so is g. Bolzano's Theorem assures that there exists c in (0,1/2) such that g(c) = 0.  This proves that g has at least one zero on [0,1/2].

Let c be a 0 of g, then we have

0 = g(c) = f(c+1/2)-f(c)

Hence, f(c+1/2) = f(c) as we wanted.

True or False: A race car driver tested his car for time from 0 to 60 mph, and in 20 tests obtained an average of 4.85 seconds w
vredina [299]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a race car driver tested his car for time from 0 to 60 mph, and in 20 tests obtained an average of 4.85 seconds with a standard deviation of 1.47 seconds.

Sample size n = 20

since population standard deviation is not known, we can use t critical value for finding out the confidence interval

df=19

t critical = 2.045

Margin of error = 2.045*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } \\=2.045*\frac{1.47}{\sqrt{20} } \\=0.6722

conidence interval = Mean±Margin of error

= (4.85-0.6722, 4.85+0.6722)\\= (4.1778, 5.5222)

The given confidence interval is (4.52, 5.18)

Hence the statement is false.

The revenue, in dollars, of a company that makes toy cars can be modeled by the polynomial 3x2 + 4x – 60. The cost, in dollars,
Tems11 [23]

For this case we have the following quadratic functions:

Revenue: 3x ^ 2 + 4x - 60

Cost: 3x ^ 2 - x + 200

Then, we observe that the profit is given by the following mathematical relationship:

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Substituting values we have:

Profit = (3x ^ 2 + 4x - 60) - (3x ^ 2 - x + 200)

Making the corresponding calculations we have:

Profit = x ^ 2 (3-3) + x (4 + 1) + (-60-200)\\Profit = 5x - 260

Answer:

An expression that represents the profit is:

Profit = 5x - 260
